I have used the Sir Cumference books for a couple of years now but have only read them to the class(not so well I might add because I am way out of my element). After observing Mrs. Parker with Mrs. Royston’s class and the activity she used with one of the books, I was able to see a better way to read the story and get the kids more involved other than just hearing old Mr. Short try to read this story. It was great to see another teacher do a lesson another(and better) way and give me ideas and strategies that I can now use with the same and other Sir Cumference books!
